Punter Steven Clark had read all about Auburn. He had heard about the game day atmosphere on the Plains. This weekend, the 6-foot-5, 230-pounder from Park Hill High in Kansas City, Mo., got to see it for himself.

He had high expectations coming into the trip, and left without any disappointments.

"It was great. It was awesome," said Clark. "I loved it. I expected a lot. Everybody had been telling me how great it is, and it was, it was even more than I expected."
